Energy

To secure our nation, our environment, and our future, we must utilize Pennsylvania’s abundance of natural resources. Pennsylvania energy is good for the economy, creating family-sustaining jobs and propelling manufacturers and developers to build here. Pennsylvania energy reduces our reliance on foreign adversaries, like China and Russia, who have no standards when it comes to protecting the environment. At a time when our electric grid is at capacity, Pennsylvania energy offers affordability and reliability. We must unleash our resources to bring prosperity to the Commonwealth.

Powering the Mid-Atlantic: Restoring Energy Affordability and Reliability

Lawmakers from Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia came together on Oct. 28 for the first-ever multi-state policy hearing focused on restoring energy affordability and reliability across the Mid-Atlantic region. The hearing, hosted by the Pennsylvania House Republican Policy Committee and chaired by Rep. David H. Rowe (R-Snyder/Union/Mifflin/Juniata), brought together legislators and energy experts to highlight the urgent need for coordinated, commonsense reforms.

“Families, businesses, and communities across our region are feeling the same pressure — rising electricity bills, regulatory bottlenecks, and power shortages,” Rowe said. “Our states share the same grid, the same transmission lines, and the same responsibility to keep the lights on. This hearing marks a unified effort to move beyond symbolism and toward real solutions.”
